Eventually, I realized this man was someone I knew.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">No. I hadn’t met him, but I knew him personally. He was me. He was the free-spirited, New Wave-loving, Conservative load-mouth that I had been for most of my life. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">In high school, I was a Free-market Reagan Conservative, happily sharing my zeal for American freedom and opportunity and often got into heated discussions with other kids who believed that Reagan was somehow the bad guy who was going to blow up the planet. These were joyful days when I would let these misguided kids make their over-reaching statements, then come back with facts. More then one high schooler came away from our chats as newly born Conservatives. And always, it was a respectful exchange amongst our different ethnicities.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">College afforded me more opportunities “to change hearts and minds” though it was on campus that I first encountered “the racist” argument.&nbsp; I remember one conversation with a very attractive black man. What started out as flirting became a conversation about the “old, white men who have always controlled the Government and the People”. Thomas Jefferson’s slaves were even invoked to which I started talking about liberty and freedom; about the need of each of us, as individuals, to be able to live without the government in our lives or bedrooms. He agreed whole-heartedly, and when I told him that I was paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson, a light came on in his eyes. “This” was the America he longed for, but had been convinced that Republicans were the party of BIG Government.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I marched into adulthood with pride in my principles and God on my side. I was unafraid.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Moving on to University, I had my first taste of institutional racism. During a literature class, we were asked to share our nationality and our “core” beliefs. I stated that I was Costa Rican and white, and that I was a Conservative Catholic. The professor paused for a long time. Then she spoke. “You don’t count as a Latina, because you look Italian or something.” With that, I was <i>dismissed</i> from serious conversation.&nbsp; Of course, that wasn’t my style at all and I quickly became the most out-spoken student in class… which led to being the most out-spoken student on campus… and that led to being the most hated student to the Progressive Faculty. They dealt me a heavy hand and by graduation, my spirit was wounded.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Limping along, squashed by the <i>hipness</i> of California Liberalism, I lost my voice. Every turn felt like another dead-end. And then… like a leaky faucet, Andrew Breitbart seeped into my broken moral fiber. Here was a man who embraced controversy. He accepted the challenge, not because he had nothing better to do, but because it was the right thing to do. My voice has been coming back to me because it is the right thing to do.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">When Andrew Breitbart died, I had a moment of clarity.&nbsp; “There, but for the&nbsp;Grace of God,&nbsp;go I." rang long and loud in my grieving mind. Doctors had told me just months earlier that I would survive Breast Cancer. Without Breitbart, I thought , the world is going to need a new force for freedom. That must be why I survived. Because I’m needed to gear up for that fight.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">On reflection, Andrew Breitbart was right about everything, or at least everything that matters, and his influence has changed our society forever. The New Media Movement has become nearly the only source of actual journalistic investigation and one must turn to Twitter and the Blogosphere for news that is unspoiled by Media Matters and the Progressive Agenda. That’s the legacy that Andrew Breitbart left us. In life, he whetted our thirst for truth; and in death, he continues to inspire us to drink of it.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">And so it is.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fj211et4T8k/UZ0v2l9_tnI/AAAAAAAAAEs/Ng_w7PI5lK0/s1600/breitbart_lightbox.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fj211et4T8k/UZ0v2l9_tnI/AAAAAAAAAEs/Ng_w7PI5lK0/s320/breitbart_lightbox.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Thank you, Andrew Breitbart!&nbsp; He is me!<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Go see "Hating Breitbart" in the Theater!&nbsp;</div><div class="MsoNormal">It's worth it!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">@Paleo_Writer</div><div class="MsoNormal">@HatingBreitbart</div><div class="MsoNormal">@BreitbartNews</div><div class="MsoNormal">#HatingBreitbart</div><div class="MsoNormal">#WAR</div>Paleo Writerhttps://plus.google.com/103743355072860276394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709345950340410395.post-74645218255764548802013-05-22T11:44:00.000-07:002013-05-22T11:47:24.871-07:00"Hating Breitbart" Review I Posted on Rotten Tomatoes<div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"></span><br /><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">My review of "Hating Breitbart" on Rotten Tomatoes:</span></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>Unlike other "biographical" documentaries, "Hating Breitbart" doesn't waste time exploring the subject's childhood or exposing his demons. To the contrary, it excellently captures the spirit of the man who catapulted the New Media Movement beyond the limitations of the Main Stream Media, and inspired a generation of Conservative activists to rise up against the biased and often racist slanders of the intellectually dishonest Left. This point is proved again by "Critic Reviews" that report on how this film doesn't fit their progressive agendas instead of actually reviewing the quality and content of the film itself. Thoughtfully edited, "Hating Breitbart" is never sentimental. Rather it is intense and funny, reflecting Andrew Breitbart's flare and daring. If you hated Breitbart or if you loved him, this film will inspire strong feelings.</span><br /><div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://content6.flixster.com/movie/11/16/72/11167220_det.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://content6.flixster.com/movie/11/16/72/11167220_det.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /></div>Paleo Writerhttps://plus.google.com/103743355072860276394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709345950340410395.post-7192486357091353922012-11-16T20:12:00.000-08:002012-11-16T20:12:32.488-08:00Atlas Shrugged - Hostess & Papa John's Pizza<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pRsiVuPOFlQ/UKcLF9oDuvI/AAAAAAAAADw/5mLnK7Tg4OE/s1600/2012-11-16_18-26-45_79.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pRsiVuPOFlQ/UKcLF9oDuvI/AAAAAAAAADw/5mLnK7Tg4OE/s1600/2012-11-16_18-26-45_79.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b>Supporting Papa John's Pizza Appreciation Day on 11/16/12</b></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The employees were unaware of today being an Appreciation Day.

In an interview with NBC's Brian Williams (see excerpt below), he very correctly identifies "<b><i><u>there may be a time when the government has an agenda that it wants to promote.</u>"</i></b><br /><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal">The future is now, actually, as I found out one day when I had the opportunity to visit my son’s classroom.&nbsp; I spied his History (Social Studies) book – a book that he has never had to bring home – and opened it to a random page. I had landed on the first page of a whole chapter on Caesar Chavez. &nbsp;For those of you who don’t know, Caesar Chavez was the “famous” organizer of the United Farm Workers Union. &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Page after page told the story of his heroic triumph over the evil land-owners, bringing humane work conditions to the illegal farm workers. There was not one word about&nbsp;his calls for violent protest or his band of union thugs that “disappeared” farm workers who vocalized opposition to him. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Nor was there any mention of his crusade to bring down Ernest and Julio Gallo of Gallo Wines. Chavez went so far as to pay for TV ads showing the “mistreated” workers in the fields. The outcry from citizens turned the whole fight in Chavez’ favor. Not one News Organization asked the question, “Why does the ad show ONION fields instead of vineyards?” Yes. The fact is Chavez lied to the public in the classic strategy of “The ends justify the means.”&nbsp; The reality of the Caesar Chavez story is that he successfully convinced illegal farmer laborers that being part of the union would improve their lives, when the intention was always to improve his pocketbook with Union Funds. He became rich on the backs of those who ultimately received much higher wages just to pay them out to the Union.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">This is just ONE example of the “government agenda” that is forced on our children, and I know that few parents understand the depth of indoctrination that their children face every day. &nbsp;I am in a constant battle now to explain the REAL stories behind the subjects in his school books and he is getting a first hand glimpse of what it means to "THINK CRITICALLY".<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Thank God that Mitt Romney is bold enough to bring this to light.

It's one thing to put it out as a model and let people adopt it as they will, but to financially reward states based upon accepting the federal government's idea of a curriculum, I think, is a mistake. <b><i><u>And the reason I say that is that there may be a time when the government has an agenda that it wants to promote."</u></i></b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 21.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">If you would like to read the full article:&nbsp;</span><a href="http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/campaign-k-12/2012/09/mitt_romney_doesnt_think_the.html?intc=mvs" style="font-size: 10px; line-height: 19.66666603088379px;">http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/campaign-k-12/2012/09/mitt_romney_doesnt_think_the.html?intc=mvs</a></div>Paleo Writerhttps://plus.google.com/103743355072860276394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709345950340410395.post-18591815058367187782012-09-21T21:37:00.000-07:002012-09-21T21:37:25.796-07:00The Birth of a Dystopian Society<span style="font-size: large;"><i style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the beginning</i><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, the first humans were challenged for food, shelter, and&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">propagation</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">&nbsp;of the species.
